Cat Respiratory Infection: It Can Happen To Any Cat

Disclosure: As a Chewy.com Ambassador I received free product and or payment to facilitate this article. I am highly selective on products for my pets and I would only showcase items I trust, from brands I trust.

With pets, it is no different than small children.

They can’t communicate what is wrong.

We feel sad for them, helpless, and sometimes panic.

Sometimes it is imperative we take our pets to the vet and this is not something we want to risk.

Cats can get respiratory infections that require veterinarian care.

Many of us wonder when we need to take our cats to the vet.

While I have a few tips, I am by no means a vet, so if in doubt, make an appointment.

Cat Respiratory Infection Symptoms:

Runny eyes or nose.

Loss of Appetite.

Sneezing.

Cough.

Fever.

Drooling or Gagging.

Not too different from humans.

As a general rule if your cat has symptoms for 3 days you should call your vet.

A mixture of symptoms, refusing to eat, or drink water could be more serious signs so don’t wait!

Being a diligent pet owner I did a lot of research when one of my cats was showing symptoms of a respiratory infection.

I learned that a vitamin called L-Lysine could help them.

Eager to help my poor kitty I rushed to the store and picked up a bottle of L-Lysine.

The trouble was the pills were huge.

I had to smash them up and sprinkle it on her cat food.

This worked, and I saw improvement almost right away!

The issue, the process was messy and took time.

Then I learned about a product made especially for cats made by VetriScience.

I have used VetriScience products before and they have always been great for my pets.

We are a dog family, but isn’t it crazy all the sicknesses that our furry family members can develop?! This is some great information for cat families.Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh recently posted…Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Bacon, & Apple

I’ll be giving these to my cat, Peanut Butter, to protect her as fall weather hits Pennsylvania. I’m also going to see if they have a good immune booster for dogs as well, so that I can give them to my senior dog. As pets get older, they can become more susceptible to illnesses.

Oscar hasn’t experienced this before which makes me feel very fortunate. I wouldn’t want him to go through the stress but it’s nice to know that there are ways to deal with it that will help make your cat’s life easier.

Awe this makes me so happy to read about pet owners who actually take care of their sick pets. I on;y have dogs, but I can imagine this to be a similar problem. Hopefully my dogs never have to get sick on me.Allison recently posted…How to Make Instagram Your Personal Travel Guide
